Survival Hacks 002: The Art of Not Dying in a Zombie Apocalypse

By now, you should have a basic understanding of zombie behavior patterns and how to avoid becoming a midnight snack for the undead. But, let's get into the advanced stuff. Here are a few tips to up your survival game:

• Know your escape routes. Familiarize yourself with local escape routes, including but not limited to, sewer systems, abandoned buildings, and the rooftops of high-rise buildings. Remember, zombies are slow, but they're not stupid.
• Stock up on non-perishable snacks. Canned goods, energy bars, and dried fruits are all great choices. Just don't forget to ration them, or you'll be joining the ranks of the undead sooner rather than later.
• Learn to navigate by the stars. When the power is out, a trusty old compass or a decent GPS device can be your best friend. Just don't rely solely on your sense of direction, or you might end up lost in a sea of undead.
• Find a reliable water source. Tap water is out, but a well-maintained water tank or a solar-powered filtration system can be a lifesaver. Just don't drink from a suspicious-looking stream, or you might end up with a case of Zombie-Induced-Parasites.
• Make friends with a few good engineers. They might not be able to help you with the whole 'not-dying' thing, but they can definitely help you fix a few things that'll make your survival a lot easier. Like, say, a makeshift generator or a solar-powered communication device.

And finally, remember: in a zombie apocalypse, it's not about being the smartest, it's about being the most resourceful. So, stock up on those energy bars, and don't get caught without a map.
